To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, ANDREW JACKSON GRUsH and JOHN BENTON SIMMONS CASE,citizens of the United States, residing at Defiance, in the county ofShelby and State of Iowa, have invented certain new and usefulimprovements in soot-accumulators for the purpose of accumulating thesoot in stovepipes and other smoke-pipes and removing the sametherefrom, of which invention the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, and toletters of reference marked thereon, making a part of thisspecification.

Our invention consists of a certain novel construction ofsoot-accumulators for stovepipes and other smoke-pipes, which will befully understood from the following descrip tion and claim.

The accompanying drawing represents a side view of a part of astove-pipe with our soot-accumulator attached thereto, said pipe havingboth a vertical and a horizontal portion therein, and each portionhaving a sootdischarge or cap for removing the accumulated soot.

The two vertical portions A A of the smokepipe are connected by means ofan elbow, O, and the upper part has a dependent pocket, B, provided witha removable cap, B, through which the soot may be removed from said F,provided with a slide, G, by means of which said hole may be opened andclosed at pleasure. By means of this scraper the soot lodged in thelower part of this pipe D may be scraped into the upper pocket, B, andthen removed therefrom, as already mentioned, by removing the cap fromsaid pocket.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent of the United States, is

In a soot-accumulator, the combination of the pipe D, having a pocket,B, provided with a removable cap, scraper E, and slide G, all arrangedto operate substantially as set forth.
